I feel like I should have a response to this. I’ve even played some of these games. But like… I don’t. I just have nothing to say. Like… I don’t know. I don’t even own a PS5. I want them to give me a reason to. And beyond that… I just… indie games are so… limited?… is that even the right word? Aside from shovel knight and Shantae (not 5 though, worst game in the series besides the Game Boy Color game), no indie game I’ve played has stuck with me the way many AAA ones do. But every time I try to justify it my reasons get shot down like a duck in hunting season. Like… am I crazy? Why aren’t I connecting with them?Not really. There's pretty recent games like Shantae 5, Hollow Knight, the Blaster Master Zero trilogy, Azure Striker Gunvolt(which is getting a 3rd game) and Lumonus Avenger iX which is getting a 2nd title. Those games are solidly long games that aren't terribly expensive. If we're talking PS5 specifically, Sackboy's Adventure from what I hear is a legit good platformer. As is the new Ratchet game (even if the lack of satire and being more family friendly is the major disappointment from me, gameplay seems as solid as ever.) People dap up A Hat in Time, which again, is a fairly recent title. Jet Set Radio is getting a new Spiritual Successor. you could probably get both Lethal League games for cheap and play other people online. Streets of Rage 4 has a lot of replay value and even if you played its main campaign once, is still a bit longer than most beat'em ups(being 12 stages as opposed to the usual 6-8, not including survival, arcade or mr.x nightmare)
Dustforce has a LOT of levels in it. And I hear good things about Spark the Electric Jester and Freedom Planet if you like Sonic. Bloodstained has like 3 games to play too. No More Heroes 3 just came out too, and I've heard mostly good things about that.
I'm not into Rogue like games myself, but there's a lot of other games out there. You either need to just stop being picky and hyperbolic, or be willing to back to older games you haven't played yet.
Outside of that, there's titles like Guilty Gear Strive or Punch Planet. We're getting a new KOF. Street Fighter 5 just got 2 new characters a couple of weeks ago and one more on the way.
Also recommending I play Hollow Knight is like telling a cat to go swimming.
